Probably better for shorter people
I sized up to a 6 bc I wanted it to be a little looser in the arms and I know this brand's slit goes pretty high and was hoping I'd have some extra give in a bigger size... and I don't know that it really helped- still felt that the slit when a little high when I walked to feel comfortable at work or sitting without showing major upper thigh. If you want to show your legs off though- great dress for that. Slit probably isn't as bad if you aren't tall- but it really goes up there if you are.

Beautiful color but small arms required
I love how striking this blue is on this dress- but I do not recommend it for anyone without small arms and a small butt bc the the arms are very tight and the seam at the bottom will gap if you are very curvy at the bottom. I get a ton of compliments every time I wear this dress but you may want to size up one or two sizes.

Awesome dress for winter
Classy and stylish dress for winter - nice and long in arms/body for us taller folks. I would not recommend it for anyone trying to hide anything spanx won't smooth out. A little too stylish for conservative work environments but great for anything else that allows a sexier silhouette.

Great cotton everywhere dress
Need a dress for night out and not sure what to wear? This is casual and dressy enough to work anywhere - probably a perfect date dress. A coworker 15 years younger borrowed it and still looked awesome in it when we were on a work trip. Fits all body types nicely. I bought this one.

Good casual blue dress - feels very "political" when wearing
Wearing this dress reminds me of being a political candidate bc of the bright blue - it's not as nice of a material as the higher end dresses but it's great for medium formality. Not a cocktail dress but good for work. Color really pops.

Flattering formal dress
Material makes the dress way more formal feeling than it looks- so great for my office but too formal for a casual office. I would think this dress would look good on anyone based on the cut. Just size up if you aren't used to squeezing into this brand :)

Decent work dress
I rented it a couple years ago and remember loving it a lot more than I did this time- it's very flattering overall but probably better for seasons that aren't cold.

Cute casual dress but arms cut weird and spanx required if you aren't 20
Great dress, would have purchased if didn't show my bra from the way the arms are cut - probably great if have a smaller chest. Fabric is thin so if you don't want to see panties through it wear spanx- I still recommend renting bc there aren't many dresses that are casual and still form fitting- just good to know what you're signing up for.

Brand favorite! Great dressier professional dress!
Fits true to brand standards, I actually thought it was another one in this color I had rented that was the same brand- but this one actually looked even better on. It's understated but super nice fabric so it just looks expensive. Very difficult (as this whole brand is) to get deodorant out of- so be very aware when putting it on.

Cool dress shows bra easily
Great dress but arms are cut in a way that if you have over a B cup- your bra will show on the sides. Probably fixable but it was just very hard for me to cover- otherwise I would have bought the dress. Great casual-but dressy dress.

Great dress to show off shoulders!
I had to buy this dress- It's hard to tell in the photo but the arms cut up almost like a halter which who's the shoulder off and makes you look even more hourglass. Very classy and this is my go-to cocktail/wedding dress.

Casual fit nice color
This was a little bigger than I normally get size wise but it still looked nice. Very professional and the color is a very happy color for work. Overall a very cute dress and the size up allowed me to breathe a little more than I normally can in dresses. Not sure if the 2 would have fit better if wasn't available. I g out many compliments on the color.

Nice dress but rolls at the top
I wore this to a wedding and it was very pretty- but the top kept rolling up and down. Mine had seen better days but it fit great otherwise and looks very classy against blonde hair.

Great LBD true to brand style and fit
Fits true to this brand and style - meaning you have to crunch into it but once it's on... it's very very flattering. Material is more formal so not a casual black dress - but great for work.

Awesome - top 3 ever dress but small arms required
It's my favorite work dress of all time- and I rent a lot of dresses for work. I have very tiny arms and barely fit into the sleeve. It appears to stretch out a little but it's a great great dress for someone who is built like I am.

VERY SHORT and this dress was very faded when it arrived.
it fits nice but it's short so not for work. It was super faded so that was really annoying.

High skit and tight arms so just be ready for that and it's great!
Slit was a litter higher than I planned but it worked as long as I sat correctly. Loved the color and the fit!

Stretched out runs big
I love the color but idk how it could really be a size two with how mig the hips were. Closer to a 4 or 5. Great color though and ok dress- nothing that will wow anyone but good everyday work dress. A little lower cut than I expected so I likely won't order again.

Great date night dress but if you're tall - buy an American apparel black skirt to wear under it :)
Short short but I had a black skirt that looked perfect under it and made it look much classier. Does stretch out a little by the end of the night but nothing crazy. Doesn't give a total hourglass shape but the illusion looks good and classy. Feels like a designer dress - good zipper!
